If you’re running an AiM dashboard or logger, you can now record the CAN data directly from it into a Video VBOX Lite. All the AiM CAN channels have been incorporated into the VBOX CAN database.

A physical connection between the dash/logger and your Video VBOX Lite is made possible with the new cable RLCAB145M, available to order now from our eStore. This cable will make it possible to connect directly to the AiM dashboard or the AiM Smartycam connection cable.

If you have a Video VBOX Lite with 1, 2, or 4 CAN channels we will supply an upgrade to 8 channels free of charge when you purchase this cable.

We have also created this scene for use on a VVB Lite which you can download here. Instructions on how to connect AiM devices to a Video VBOX Lite can be found here.

The astonishing Koenigsegg Agera RS broke the world speed record for a production vehicle on Saturday 4th November, attaining an average speed of 277.9 mph (447.2 km/h) on a (closed) public road in Nevada, USA. On hand to assist with verifying the speed was Jim Lau, Technical Director of Racelogic USA.

The car performed three runs, with a maximum speed of 284.3 mph (457.5 km/h) being reached in one direction and 271.2 mph (436.4 km/h) going the opposite way, giving the final average which is due to be ratified by Guinness as a world record.

The Racelogic equipment consisted of a VBOX 3i which logs GPS data at 100 Hz with a velocity accuracy of +/- 0.1 km/h – and which has been recognised by Guinness as acceptable test equipment in a number of automotive records. The VBOX 3i was accompanied by a VBOX Video HD2 which captured the runs with 1080p footage, synchronised with 10 Hz GPS data and real time graphical overlay.

Watch the two record-breaking speed runs below. Note how the car appears to cruise up to 200 mph before finally unleashing its potential and rocketing to the maximum – final gear isn’t even selected until it is travelling at 220 mph!

The outrageous new car from Dodge, the Challenger SRT Demon, goes on sale in a limited run soon. The car has taken the automotive world by storm, thanks to an astonishing factory specification of in excess of 800bhp and with hardware suitable for drag racing at the highest level – right off the showroom floor.

Working closely with Dodge, we are delighted to be supplying an official, Demon-specific, VBOX Video HD2 to their customers once they take delivery of the car. The VBOX will come with a custom clamp that mounts it to the Demon harness bar, along with a personalised ID badge and Demon-branded hard carry case. Order online.

The HD2 will be supplied with a special pre-loaded scene designed specifically for the vehicle, displaying readouts for drag strip timing, brake and accel channels, wheel slip, and launch control parameters. Demon drivers will be able to take advantage of the video and data they record, to get the very best out of what is set to be an American muscle-car classic.

If you’re running an AiM dashboard or logger, you can now record the CAN data directly from it into a VBOX Video HD2. All the AiM CAN channels have been incorporated into the VBOX database so you can select the channels in HD2 setup that you want to log.

A physical connection between the dash/logger and your HD2 is made possible with the new cables RLCAB144 and RLCAB145, available to order now from our eStore. These cables will make it possible to connect directly to the AiM dashboard or the AiM Smartycam connection cable.

We have also created this scene for use on an HD2 which you can download here.

There are a significant number of parameters available for logging, including Brake Position, Brake Pressure, Fuel level, Lateral Acceleration and Steering Angle. Instructions on how to configure/connect the devices for use together are available here.
